I got this inflatable boat just for fun. It seemed larger than I was expecting once I had it unfolded and was getting ready to inflate it. Once fully inflated and with two adults in it, it's the perfect size for my needs. As others have stated, this can be a 5 person boat if at least 2 of them are small children, however, once you've got 3 adults in it there's little extra room. It took maybe 30 minutes to get everything inflated and assembled, ready to use. I did use my electric air pump (for air mattresses) to speed up the process of getting the boat mostly inflated before using the included pump. Overall, I'm having fun and am happy with it. My (adult) daughter and I tried it out and it was comfortable, had no leaks and we had a good time. I think the product listing should indicate the boat is for a maximum of 3 adults and 2 children, instead of 5 people. I think they're taking the 1100 lb capacity and dividing that by 200 lb average per person to get to a 5 person boat, which is mostly disregarding the amount of available space within the boat. For 2 adults, it's great fun and there's room for a cooler!
